Passive House buildings in different climates

Passive House buildings: a method rather than a building style

In Central European Climate there is a lot of practical experience on how to build Passive House buildings. But it would be a pitfall just to apply the Central European Passive House design, especially the details used for insulation, windows and ventilation and just copy these to a completely different situation because

there is a specific building tradition in every country and

there are specific climatic boundary conditions in every region.

Therefore, the specific solution for a Passive House has to be adapted to the country and the climate under consideration.
